Fall Calendar :

Bread & Belonging

Bread & Belonging, a weekly student gathering for dinner and conversation, meets every Tuesday, 5:30-7, usually in The CIRCLE Common Room on the 3rd floor of The Old Union Building, October through May. This quarter, we are discussing questions related to Progressive Christianity; what is it and why should we care? Join us as we discuss questions like the difference between the theology of Jesus and the theology of Paul. What is the connection between faith and science? What are the characteristics of a soulful romantic relationship? Come explore these and other questions with us.

Check out the B&B schedule of topics here.

Taize

Usually the 4th Tuesday of the month but since the 4th Tuesday of March will be during finals week, we will have two services in April, the first on April 1st and the second on April 29th
9p.m. - 9:45p.m.
Taize is a form of worship using simple English or Latin chants of song and prayer. This form of worship originated at the Taize community of France. Join us in the CIRCLE Sanctuary on the 3rd floor of the Old Union Bldg.

Taize Evening Worship

Tuesdays: April 1st and 29th

9pm in the CIRCLE Sanctuary

On the 3rd floor of the Old Union Bldg

What is Taize? Taize worship originated at the Taize Community in France in 1940 as an ecumenical Christian monastic community of both Catholics and Protestants. Taize worship is composed of simple songs or chants, usually in English or Latin. It may also include readings from scripture and prayer around the cross.

Singing is one of the most essential elements of worship. Short songs, repeated again and again, give it a meditative character. Using just a few words they express a basic reality of faith, quickly grasped by the mind. As the words are sung over many times this reality gradually penetrates the whole being. Meditative singing thus becomes a way of listening to God. It allows everyone to take part in a time of prayer together and to remain together in attentive waiting on God, without having to fix the length of time too exactly.

Come, let us worship together

Just as the Taize community in France is an ecumenical community of Catholics and Protestants, this service is sponsored by The Catholic Community at Stanford and United Campus Christian Ministry at Stanford (UCCM). You can learn more about our services and events at our websites:

Join us at our Welcome Social, Monday Oct 1st at 7:00pm in the ground floor lobby of the Old Union (the big room with all the couches).

Regular Monday evening meetings will start on Oct 8th. Because it's being used for Ramadan, we won't be in the CIRCLE sanctuary until Oct 15th.

group photo We are the Unitarian Universalists at Stanford. We meet weekly to discuss religion, spirituality and philosophy and to support each other as we all seek for what is true and meaningful in our own lives. We also have social justice projects, interfaith activities and social events each quarter and arrange rides to local churches.

Unitarian Universalism is an uncommon denomination: a liberal religion with no established creed. We believe that there is no authority greater than individual conscience. We seek to act as a moral force in the world, believing that ethical living is the supreme witness of religion. We welcome people of all faiths to learn more about our religion.
